Welcome back to the Time Machine with Trish and Mike. Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be an interesting ride! We're sorry, your princess is in another castle.

This week we take a moment to pause and reflect on a major world event that occurred 20 years ago. September 11, 2001 will go down in infamy. It was a day where the world stopped and collectively grieved for the United States of America. Please join us as we discuss how this event impacted us as young teenagers growing up on both sides of the 49th. To the first responders and servicemen who gave of their time and energy, and their lives, we thank you sincerely. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/timemachinewithtrishmike/message
Welcome back everyone! We hope you all enjoyed the lovely month of August. We certainly made the most of our month-long hiatus. This week we return to our regular scheduled programming with an actual real life, true story of time travel! What would you do if you were magically transported forward in time? Maybe you would get tickets to a popular game show? Maybe you would ensure you attended a record breaking baseball game? We also examine a very interesting story of a woman with a very interesting name who eluded death for an extra 9 years; a story that Hollywood should take note of! So hop on board and ensure you have your ticket handy, it's time for The Time Machine with Trish and Mike to begin! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/timemachinewithtrishmike/message
Hop aboard the Time Machine for this week's adventure, but be sure to pack an extra bag, because the Time Machine will not return until September. But before we go, we take a look at the mysterious circumstances surrounding when Vincent Van Gogh went Van Gone, the Great Solar Storm of 2012, and Trish and Mike share some of their favorite Olympic Memories.

And since it's the middle of summer and it is a bit warm outside, we'll take a look at the coldest temperature ever recorded on earth!

Welcome to the Time Machine with Trish and Mike. We would like to remind you to keep the safety bar in its lock position until the end of the ride and to remind you that flash photography is not permitted. This week we return to the vast darkness of space...well, more like we return to Earth after having returned to space. Speaking of the Earth, we celebrate a very iconic Women's World Cup win before reflecting on the state of earthly affairs with a very famous 1960s book. What if you fell off the face of the Earth? Well, you would end up like the man in our last story and understand a unique bucket list of items Trish is never going to do.

All aboard the Time Machine with Trish and Mike! It is that time again folks for your weekly dose of historical fun! This week's episode has us taking all kinds of twists and turns as we start our adventure through time at Coney Island. We head on over to Ottawa to investigate a very unique corner-less building designed by Metis Douglas Cardinal before sailing around the world with the first man (and Canadian to boot!) to circumnavigate the globe. His mysterious death left many questions. Our last story also left people puzzling but in regards to a different kind of uncivilized circumnavigation.

All aboard for another episode of The Time Machine with Trish and Mike. We would like to start this episode by wishing all the mothers who listen to our show a very happy Mother's Day this Sunday. Bonne fête des mères! This week in history we explore where Canada got its name - “O Cartier” doesn't doesn't have the same ring to it. Who would be the king of the ring? The Hulk would smash the competition. Speaking of smashing, this company has been smashing the market with their electronics since 1946. VCR or VHS? Toe-may-toe, toe-ma-toe?

Do you have your ticket handy? The Time Machine is taking off on another adventure through time. This week join Trish and Mike as they travel across time exploring the sinking of the world's most famous ‘unsinkable' ship. A map of the icefields would have been helpful...too bad Rand McNally wasn't onboard. From the sea to the sky, who really shot down The Red Baron? A Canadian has always been attributed the honour but join us as we discover why that isn't really accurate. Don't have a cow man when you find out this famous family debuts on television this week in history. And from one dysfunctional family to another we talk crown jewels on 2 Minute Tutor Time with Trish. You can enjoy a golden nugget (of info) as we celebrate the opening of the first McDonald's!

All aboard! It's time for your weekly adventure through history with Trish and Mike! On today's episode we take you back in time and through space - to the moon! For centuries odd flashes of light have been witnessed on the moon. What are they? Aliens? Meteors? From astronomy to the Astrodome, we learn about the first indoor baseball game. You won't find too many bugs in AstroTurf but you can learn about where the term ‘bugs' for computer glitches came from as we discuss the invention of COBOL thanks to a very important American female mathematician and Navy veteran. Technology has grown by leaps and bounds in the past century alone but not everyone is a fan. The band Metallica launched a lawsuit against this P2P sharing site 21 years ago. It's an Old Bet Sean Parker made a ton of cash off his idea. I wonder how many tonnes 24 million dollars is? Terry Fox started his Marathon of Hope 41 years ago this week, his goal was to raise $1 for every Canadian.

Do you have your ticket? It's time to board The Time Machine with Trish and Mike for another adventure through time. This week we start our show discussing April's Fools Day. Don't be deceived and end up looking like a half-wit, learn the origins before you fall for a prank! Tomfoolery abounded once Nickelodeon aired for the first time although its popularity may not have topped the first movie theatre. Blockbuster definitely changed the way we enjoyed our movies. Do you know where the last Blockbuster is located? Mike does and you can too (and learn how to collect a special piece of memorabilia.) What else brings people together? The Olympics...or conflict. Either way, NATO's got you covered. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/timemachinewithtrishmike/message
All aboard the Time Machine with Trish and Mike! This week has us questioning the standards of movie filming etiquette. Hays would not be impressed with modern standards. He may be more impressed with the upgrades to twister warning systems (although he likely would still question the 1996 film itself.) Someone who likely really wished they could endure modern (health) standards is Mary Mallon, the Irish cook not-so-affectionately called “Typhoid Mary”. The standards for the Baltimore Colts deteriorated quickly resulting in a very quick change of address. Too bad they couldn't use The Bluenose to ship their equipment to their new stadium. They likely “wrestled” with the decision to move. Get your ticket ready and join us as we unpack this week's topics. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/timemachinewithtrishmike/message
All Aboard! It's time for another trip through history! Lord Stanley likely wouldn't have had an issue with cash advancement or authorized payments, although it likely didn't hurt to keep some gold handy (maybe he knows something about the secret treasure the SS Georgina was carrying?) How many tokens do you think the NYC Subway collects each day and what the daily value is? More than a few loonies we're betting. Why loons and not beavers, which is Canada's official animal, if you didn't know eh? Rick Hansen raised quite a few loonies himself during his Man in Motion world tour to raise money and awareness for individuals living with physical disabilities.

Grab your ticket and watch your step as you hop aboard The Time Machine with Trish and Mike for another weekly adventure through time. On this week's episode we pause and reflect on the past year. A year ago the world realized the devastating effects of Covid-19 and countries everywhere went into various states of lockdown. Today, with vaccines being rolled out and some countries effectively Covid-19 free we talk about how to move forward and what life may look like post Covid-19. Some calming reassurance was definitely required this year. We discuss two different events involving leadership and their effect on people across the globe. What goes together like peas and carrots? Storms and cookies! The Storm of the Century affected millions of people back in ‘93. How do these storms happen and are we prepared for the next one? At least have some Girl Guide cookies handy to enjoy while you wait for power to be restored to your home. Girl Guides or Girl Scouts? We compare and contrast the differences between our two countries and see who has the better cookies (hint… it isn't Canada for very good reasons!) KFC? Popeyes? Jollibees? Which restaurant chain has the best finger licking good chicken? We narrow down which fowl is foul and which is cock of the walk as we celebrate the birthday of an important fast food mogul. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/timemachinewithtrishmike/message

Magellan, the first to circumnavigate the globe was an excellent explorer but a very poor diplomate. Find out what “The Full Magellan'' means and the connection to the periodic table. Sorry Mario, your princess is in another castle. Find out the dark truth behind The Mushroom Kingdom in time to celebrate Mario Day. Speaking of made up holidays, have you heard of Cinco de Marcho?

This week on The Time Machine with Trish and Mike we discuss the first celebration of Mardi Gras in North America (and the unique Canadian connection). It's another Tutoring session with Trish (you'll want to hear the theme song Mike composed!) Hey batter-batter! We examine the heliocentric model of the universe before examining what one young girl was able to do at all 30 MLB stadiums. Johnny Cash has us making isolation playlists (It is doubtful “My Heart Will Go On” is on either one of our lists…) and Florida celebrates becoming a state this week. Can Trish properly pronounce some local spots?

All aboard! It's time for another journey on The Time Machine with Trish and Mike! You have heard of when pigs fly, but what about cows? You might think we are a little loony for discussing some unusual currency facts this week, but a toonie for your thoughts about it? A toonie would for sure get you a Double-Double at Tim Horton's - how did the iconic Canadian chain start anyhow? You don't need to be a rocket scientist to find out, although Astronauts Mark and Scott Kelly could likely point you in the right direction. Worst case you could always use a phone book to call someone who might know...well if people still use a phone book that is. Definitely, someone who could have eaten their fair share of Tim Horton treats was Robert Wadlow. Find out what world record he still holds to this date! Treats are always wonderful to share with friends. Crikey! We wonder what John Glenn would have wanted to snack on while orbiting the Earth in Friendship 7. Feeling a little puzzled?

This week's episode has its fair share of mysteries as we uncover the truth about King Tut's curse and its many victims. Misplaced sports paraphernalia raises some questions. The establishment of ASCAP and copyright laws causes some concerns. Mata Hari, the famous Dutch exotic dancer turned infamous spy leaves us with some queries. An image of a tiny blue dot causes a slight freakout and the launch of YouTube causes general curiosity about the first video ever uploaded to the platform. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/timemachinewithtrishmike/message
On today's adventure through time Trish and Mike celebrate Black History Month with a pair of discussions on Rosa Parks and Hank Aaron. What unique baseball record does Hank and his brother Tommie hold? Queen Elizabeth II takes the throne. What's the quickest way to travel? A straight line of course. But what if there's a body of water?? You build a tunnel! The English Chunnel connects England and France, and you will learn a lot of its construction. Before he created Facebook, what website did Mark Zuckerberg create? Why was The Great Baltimore Fire so hard to get under control?

On today's adventure through time Trish and Mike discuss the somber anniversaries of NASA's two Space Shuttle disasters. What have we learned about space safety in the last 35 years? While America was building a space program and declaring a man would walk on the moon by the end of the 1960s, Canada had an entirely different problem that required a solution. You may experience some deja vu as we discuss Groundhog Day and how our two countries celebrate this completely bogus day. What are your predictions: early spring or late winter? Finally, cooping, toasting and first impressions are explored (any guesses on which literary giants this may refer to?)

Welcome back to The Time Machine with Trish and Mike! On this week's episode, Trish and Mike jump back in time to the 1500s where Trish gives us a little Tutor-ing lesson on one of King Henry the VIII's marriages. We blast off to the 1980s when Hulkamania began to run wild and what about HULK Hogan caught the attention of Marvel Comics? Mike will explain! We travel back to the 1900s to explore two very important developments to technology and medicine before leaping forward to the 1960s and 70s where we discuss two critical situations that could have really caused a meltdown.
